(MURFREESBORO) With people staying inside due to COVID-19 along with schools and churches not having public gatherings, the Heart of Tennessee Chapter of the American Red Cross has issued an URGENT ALERT for blood.
It's the perfect time to make your next donation appointment. Why? Thanks to Amazon, a very generous advocate for blood donation, you can receive a $5 Amazon.com Gift Card* via email when you come to give blood from June 1-30, 2020. By the way, the Murfreesboro Red Cross is at 501 Memorial Boulevard, near Broad Street.
There's an urgent need for blood donations during these uncertain times, and you can make a huge difference. You may even help save more than one person's life. Plus, think of all the ways you could use that gift card - toward groceries, sunscreen, or a new toy for your favorite pet. Right now, it may be especially lovely to treat yourself.
Donating blood products is essential to community health and eligible donors are encouraged to donate during the COVID-19 outbreak. The Red Cross follows the highest standards of safety and infection control, and volunteer donors are the only source of blood for those in need. Learn more.
For the safety of our donor community and in accordance with CDC guidelines, all donors are required to wear a face covering or mask. Please bring one to your donation. If you do not have one, a mask will be provided to you.
